I'd love some feedback on this one. Been going round and round all week looking at reviews and photos...
So, I'm looking for the best wide to portrait length lens out there for my K3. Not entirely opposed to getting a top notch prime instead (i.e. FA 31), but would really prefer an all in one wide to portrait lens.
My top priorities:
Very good to excellent bokeh
Very sharp
Excellent color rendering (really want this, not just a sharp lens)
WR is definitely preferred but not essential
Dependable (so, trying to avoid the zooms that seem to fall apart or have significant issues after one year of use)
Size not too much of a factor. Don't mind spending about $800 if needed. Just want the best bang for the buck. Have been considering the Sigma 18-31 Art (looks like the focusing issues can be worked around), Pentax 20 40 (though am concerned about inconsistent sharpness at various lengths), the Pentax 18 65 (though worried about lack of bokeh and sharpness).
Perhaps I'm just asking for the impossible, but I'd love some feedback. Thanks in advance for your thoughts, and links to images with recommended lenses always appreciated :-)
